Which outcome is observed after subduction ceases completely?

💡 Explanation

Isostatic rebound occurs because removal of the subducting plate reduces the load on the overriding plate, allowing buoyant uplift; therefore the crust rises, rather than seeing volcanic activity or density increases, because the compressional forces have subsided.
